Tho Col. was clearly in tho field, and ppoko of tlio Salem Platform of 1857, assigned that as ono of tlio causes for getting up tlio National parly, pitched into Bush, tho Salem clique, and was opposed to tho Democratic nominees generally. In conclusion, he promised to do all ho could for tlio people, if elected. Nest came Mr. HuiIi,.who occupied only a few minutes, making a persouul explanation. Tho Hon. D, Smith addressed tho pcoplo fur about ono lioiir ir. his hap py style, yet on account of tho guerilla mode of warfare that had become the order of the day, ho was compelled, as ho termed it, to answer petit larceny charges, which did not suit tho high order of political canvassers.

I bolievo I slated to you In my pro vlous letters that I was fearful tho Ar my bill would bo defeated In tho Bon nie. This has been done. After the original bill had been so amonded and altered in such n manner that (he fath er of it (Gon'l Davis,) could Hot know Ids own child, the bill was ordered lo a third reading and (hen put upon Its passage, nnd defeated by a voto of ayes 10, nays 27. Tlio .Military Commlttoo of tho House, in anticipation of the Senato bill being defeated, have re ported a bill which I think Is likoly to to becomo n law. Tho bill authorizes thb raising of ono regiment of volun leers In Texas to dofond that State against Indian depredations, nnd four additional regiments of volunteers, (o bo called into tho sorvico nt tlio dlscre tion or the President, and lor such a portod of timo os ho may dotormlne (hoy will bo required. Congress acts so unconcclvcnbly slow, and (ho exigencies of (ho existing Mor mon wnr requiring that troops should now bo on (ho march to Utah, I under stand tho Secretary of War has docid od not to wait any longer on tho notion of Congroas, nnd ho will therefore give Immcdlato orders (o withdraw all the troops (hat can possibly bo spnrcd from (ho Allanllo seaboard and from tho frontier posts, who will be ordered to conconlrn(o a( Fort Leavenworth, pro paratory to their joining tho troops now in Utah under command of Col. John ston, so ns lo bo prepared to commence operations against the Mormons the momont spring opens. Had tho army boon increased in tlio mnnuor proposed by tho Secretary of Wnr, it was his in tention to havo sent Gen'l Soolt (o (he Pacific coast to hnvo enrriod on from tiint sldo a concorted movement against tho Mormons, with tho troops un der Col. Johnston ; but I havo (earned from good nuthorlly that such a move ment has been abandoned, and it is not probable that any troops will bo des patched from (he Pacific sido. Tho majority of tho Committee ou Territories havo roportcd a bill for thu admission of Kansas under tho Lo- camptou constitution, and Sonator Douglas and tho Republican mombors havo submitted minority reports, Tho question is now beforo tlio Smialo to bo finally disposod of, nnd (ho contro versy will bofiercouid bitter, but thoro is not tho slightest doubt (hat (hero is n majority of tlio Senato in favor of tho admission or Kansas under that con stitution, and that the bill will pass that body within two woeks. It is gener ally believed by tho Administration members of tho House, but not con ceded by (he opposition, that thero isn majority sufficient (o pass It there, and I nm strongly of that opinion. The struggle will no doubt bo protracted, and every proposition prcsontod fought to tho last moment, engendering vin dictive feelings between members and violent agitation between tho different sections of tlio Atlantic States, but fin ally Kansas will come in as a Slate under tho Lecomntou constitution. l no opposition will (ry to keen un the agitation for noliticul capital, hut I think tho whole country country will rejoice when (ho Kansas Imbroglio will have been brouolu (o n close bv her admission ns a State, and when our legislators will do something more than ono etornal tight about "niggers." Although your distinguished ropro scntativo, Gen'l Lane, has energetically exerted himself to induce (ho House to take up Territorial business, thoro is not tho slightest prospect of boing able to accomplish his purposo until (be Kansas question is disposed of. Mr, Buchanan is strongly possessed of tho doctrine (hat "thoso who are not for, are against me." and ho has com menced removing from office all who favor Senator Douglas' views upon tho Kansas question, and pultini: in their places Democrats who aro in favor of tho course laid down in the President's special message to Congress in trans mitting tho Lecompton Constitution. The political ax has already fallen on me neaua oi many prominent nntl-l.e compton Democrats in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and other places, and tho end is not yet. Col. Jack Hays roturns to California by the Steamer which carries this letter. There has been a perfect opidemlc of fights and duels hero for tho past two weeka whioli has kept (he 3Ietro polia in a constant exoitement and commotion, and (ho pulico officers bu sy in apprehending (ha violators of the peano. Duel No. 1. Col. Sumner i-liullenir. od General Harnoy relative (o matters growing out of the recent Court Mar tlal held on (ho former, and Gon. liar ney has sent the challenge to the War wcjHiriiiieni, upon wnloh (he SeoreUry has ordered another Court Martial on Col oumner. Duel No. Q. Ex-LieuLRhltidofthc Navy sent a cballengo to Commodore lioutwell, who rcruscd to accept u on the ground that Rhlnd had been dis missed from the Navjr for lyjng and o(ber conduct' unbecoming a gentle man, whereupon Rhlnd posted liout well on the doora of tho Navy Depart' ment, and In his poster lie complimen ted Boutwcll as being a "liar and a coward, and at tho samo (Imo sent him a noto stnting ho would defend his postor for ton minutes alone, and lie did so. This gentlemanly duel No. 2, is ended for the present by both Lieut. Rhlnd and his second being bound over for their appearance at court, the former for posting a man contrary to tho net of Congress of 1830, making it n penitentiary offence, and (ho latter for being a bcarorof a challenge, which places him in the samo category. Duel No. 3. Llcutonnnts Bell and Williams, of (ho Army, chanced (o meet nt Williord's Hotel barber shop, whereupon cancg and fists woro used oxlcnslvcly hy tho bellgcrcnts, but more to (ho damago of tho poor barber's goods and bottles, than their own nor sous, which, however, lod to a chnl longe nnd a meeting of (ho parlies at Bludenaburg "with pistols and cofTeo for one." Lieut. Bell's shot struck Lieut. Williams' $5 tile, (ho ball just grazing (ho skin, and (hen (hero was an amicablo adjustment and instead or coffee, they took n "smllo" all around. Duel No. -I. Gon. Cullom, or (en- nessee, laic Clork of tho House, Insul ted Iho Hon. Jas. B. Clay, son of tho great "Harry of (lie West," In Brown's tiotci, uecauso no uectinou iirininng with him, calling him "an unworthy son of an illustrious slro" nnd slap pod him in tho fiico. A cballengo was tho consoquonco, nnd tho partlos went to tlio field armed with rifles, but the diliiculty was settled by referring (he question (o umpires, ono chosen by each party, (hey choosing a third, ana (hey woro Senators Toombs, Critten- don und Kennedy who docided that Gonorol Cullom was in tho wrong nnd should npologizo to Mr. Clay for tho insult offered, which Gon. C. had the manliness to do, nnd thus ended duel No. 4. Tho bravery of theso gentle mon is undoubted by thoso who know (hem, both were gallant officers in tlio iuoxicnn wnr. Duel No. 5, is now undor way, so it is said, nnd is between a Lieutenant of (ho Navy und a nephew of a Sena tor. Tho cnuio tho latter, it is said, oflbrcd a gross insult (o (ho former's wifo. A son oftbo Emorald Islo boing ask ud by ono of his compatriots what kind of faro he got whon ho worked, on awcrcd that it was "illlgant and divar- allied; In tho morning ho bnd pork; nnd prntlos, lor (tinner praties and pork, und for supper friod pork and prntlos." Now, our representatives havo civon us a similar entertainment during tlio pro sent session, for (hoy havo served up (he Kansas question in every style, and I haven new subject to writo you about, viz: tho Kansas question in another shape, being a motion mado by Sena tor Green of Missouri which proposos to taek tho Kansas bill (Locompton Constitution) on tho Mincsotn bill, and in this wny 1 can confidently assure your readers loth bills will pass the Senate awl also the House by from five to'ffteen majority. Congress may then uo some legislation wliiclimay bo of iutrinsio intorcst and benefit to tho wholo country. Pobitivo information lias beon receiv ed hero that Gen. Satita,Aiina, with a largo number of partisans, will soon proceed in a Spanish wnr steamer to Mexico, to assume tho Dictatorship of mat (iistracteu country. II is (he opi niou here that Ids attempt will bo suc cessfully opposed and that the contend- ing factions will unite in driving him from Iho Republic. It is also belicvod (bat tho States of Sonora and Chlohu nbu will doclaro their Independence and sepnrato from (he other Mexican States; which, if they do, manifest destiny will soon mnko them integral parts of the American Union. Tho ro establishment of (be Nlcar. nguun lino of Steamers has bad Iho of- J feat of breaking up the monopoly so long enjoyed by (ho U. S. Pacific Mail Steamship Co., and the faro by their steamers has been reduood (o 8200 in the first cabin, 8150 in the second cabin, and 8100 in tho steoraije, I un derataud that when the Nicaraguan route is fully established, the prices of passago will be even lower than (hese T&e "National" champlona thought they were strong In this county, but they made an almost total failuro in their great County Convention only one precinct represented fully and ono other portly but (hey mado out (o send a relaxed delegation (o Eugeno. This assumed name ot "Nationul Do mocrncy" is nothing more nor less than tho motley opposition that tho Demo crats of Oregon battled against in the last canvass for delegate to Congress, with a new addition of 6nco half-mado Democrats, who only acted with (he party t'.r popularity, and (heir grade not being rnlsed fast enough to suif their tasto, they havo assumed tho name which is so correct in tho 'Ox' print, as "National Democrats' embracing and covering tho namo B. U . Let them corns under wbntnamo they may choose, wo will consider that tho samo old foo Is at hand, which lias met so many defeats, and still can bodefoated by tho gallant Democrats. Tlio enemy will muke a total failure in thtlr next Convention in this county, undor (ho assumed nnmo. They may mako an effort (o rally under (hulr original name, but their "row" will stop (hero ; as usual, (hat will be all. Our County Convention comes off on tho 15th of this month. Wo will hnvo tlioprivllcgo this year of olcctlng two Representatives ami a Sonator, nnd wo will endeavor to havo a fair repre sentation -in tho noxt Legislature. We Democrats of Douglas fear not the na tives "Nationals." Douglas has al ways gave n good Democratic majori ty, Tine! still stands sound. Yours, &o., JACKSON. Northern Gold ITllncs. An old resident of Port Townsend, W. T., writing to tho S. F. Bulletin, March 20th, says: We havo our own gold mines hero now, nnd from tho nows wo receive we bid fair to compote with even Califor nia. Our gold regions extend from Frazor rivor, through (o Fort Colville, somo thrco hundred miles. Iho dig gings (hat hnvo cjyon thu start nro sit uated at the Forks of Frazer river, some fifteen miles nbovo Fort Hope, ono of tho Hudson Bay Company's trading posts. They arc reported, by rcllsblu porsons, to bo paying from 815 to 850 per day to (he hand. Frnm what In. formation I can get, I nm personally satisfied that (hoy will avcrngo 610 a day. I havo workod in (ho California mines for four years, and know how reports go, and in (his caio havo taken considerable pains to net correct infor mation. I am knowing to somo thirty pounds being sent by tho Hudson Bay Company to Victoria by n Irnder they novo in mo mines, wiio tins taken that amount from Indians nlonu In less than a month; nnd report states that thoy received as much as twenty pounds more. Quito a number of white men havo beon down from tho mlnrs this spring with rmall quantities of dust to buy provisions mid return Immediately. They all report favorably. Tlio gold is principally coarsu, und taken from Laurlaco diggings. 1 have no doubt tho (Hudson Bay Company has dono every. thing to keep tho discovery dark, ns it greatly interferes wllh (heir (rade, and may (brow a great obstacle In the way of getting (heir charter renowed, The Hudson Bay Company has nt temptcdho isstio licenses to dig, but little attention has been paid to their commands. If the miners, after get ting on the ground, find that protection is furnbhed them, thoy will not object to paying the same, otherwiso (hey will refuse. Tho tax amounts to about 85 per month. rates, besides a quicker nnd moro'ploa sntit route.. This will bo good news for (ho peoplo of your now State who wish to como (o (bo Atlantic- States. UNO. Correspondence of the ientlncl. Douglas Cou.tv, April 1, 58. Editor Oregon Sentinel: I deem the present a favorablo opportunity of speaking a word in relation (o the po- litical "ups and downs." Tho time is near at hand ; our candidates are about beginning the canvass. I understand (bat the "Nationola" and all opposition are invited lo accompany the regular uemocratio nominee ; jf thoy do so, wo will have a chance to hear this great uogus uocirino auvanced, Though I think probably (he "faodon" will no( send tbolr candidates into the field in open opposition lo our nominees (heir foundation being so near Know Noth. ing. They will probably mako a stand at home, and make an- alliance with their brothers, the Black Republican.
